September 20, 2021 by Rachel Chang, Psy.D.

What is Trichotillomania?

Trichotillomania is the recurrent and hard-to-control pulling out of one’s hair. The pulling occurs most commonly from the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelids, but it may occur from other regions of the body. People with trichotillomania often describe experiencing an overwhelming urge to pull their hair. This makes the behavior very difficult to control.

Be an Informed Consumer!

October 30, 2012 by Dr. Paul Greene

--

Much attention has been cast on the relationships between clinical medicine and the pharmaceutical industries. How much has the pharmaceutical industry been influencing the treatment of depression and anxiety?  The rate of use of prescription medication in the United States is higher than in other industrialized nations.  The use of prescription antidepressant medication has drastically increased in the past 20 years. 

In fact, a 2007 study by the CDC found that in the United States, antidepressants were prescribed more often than medications for high blood pressure or high cholesterol! It is likely that the effects of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical marketing, such as television and radio commercials, have played an important role in the increased use of many patented antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications.  These medications have been very profitable for pharmaceutical companies. In recent years, television commercials even advertise serious antipsychotic medication — even for use with depression — despite the fact that many in the field consider these drugs to be overused and to cause problematic side effects.

Book review: The Emperor of All Maladies

April 19, 2011 by Dr. Paul Greene

The recent history of cancer and its treatment, The Emperor of All Maladies, is an excellent read for several audiences. Those interested in the history of medicine will not find a more compelling treatment of oncology’s development over the past hundred years.  Similarly, for those affected by cancer who would like to better understand the use and history of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatments for cancer, there is no better resource.  It is very well written and — astoundingly — makes cellular biology a fascinating read.  For these reasons and more, the book won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction for 2011.
